Rule is set to 'Can't create collaboration governments'

[NEXUS12]

Hi,

I can't seem to find this answer anywhere else.

I'm playing as non-aligned Napoleonic France. I'm in the allies with the US and UK vs Germany and Italy in a defensive war. So with the exception of my government change the playthrough is historical.

It's around 1943 and I have completed my focus tree on all sides. Most of my African colonies are over 80% compliance, but I can't make them collab governments. And the option to force the issue is not in my events list. I noticed my country has the rule 'Can't create collab governments'.

I've definitely created them with Napoleonic France in a previous run. What have I done differently to make this rule take effect? Is it the side effect of a focus I have taken or something?

Might this be it? From the Wiki:

Collaboration governments cannot be created from an existing puppet, but they themselves can increase their own autonomy status and become a regular puppet, allowing them to eventually become independent through the normal puppet autonomy ladder.

Might this be it? From the Wiki:

I don't think so, because the option used to be there. And also my occupied territories have over 80% compliance yet still I have no event regarding setting up a collab government

You joined the Allies. Can they do that?

ahhhh. I didn't join them last time. I think that is the issue.

Unfortunate. But thanks for the swift help!
